The Police Command in Anambra has denied any complicity in the escape of two suspects allegedly linked to the murder of Mr Justice Azuka, a lawmaker at the State Assembly......CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE>>>>>
Azuka, a Labour Party (LP) lawmaker was representing Onitsha-1 Constituency before his untimely death by suspected kidnappers.
SP Tochukwu Ikenga, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, made this known on Thursday in a statement.
According to Ikenga, the police cannot be the same people who risk their lives with other security operatives to arrest these criminals involved in the gruesome murder of Hon. Justice Azuka and still turn around to sabotage the process.
“Remember that we had earlier paraded these suspects for residents of the state and the world to see.
“We are owning up to our responsibility, no doubt. Nevertheless, our main focus now, while we are still interrogating the officers involved in these operational lapses to face serious sanctions, is to re-arrest the suspects on the run.”
Recall the two suspects were among others arrested recently by the joint security force over the murder of the lawmaker before they fled from police custody during an operation to apprehend a suspect also linked to the crime.
